Base metal prices fell by up to Rs 5 per kg at the non-ferrous metals market today, tracking a weak trend overseas.
Traders said sentiment dampened after London copper traded lower for a fifth session, few hours before the United States announced tariffs on Chinese goods.
Meanwhile, copper for delivery in three-months went down by 0.8 per cent to USD 6,295 a tonne, its lowest since July 28, 2017, on the London Metal Exchange.

In the national capital, copper mixed scrap and nickel plate (4x4) drifted lower by Rs 2 and Rs 5 to Rs 426 and Rs 880-883 per kg, respectively. Zinc ingot, lead ingot and lead imported also enquired lower by Rs 2 each to Rs 133-139, Rs 138 and Rs 145 per kg, respectively.
